A Life Worth Breathing: A Yoga Master's Handbook of Strength, Grace, and Healing by Max Strom

4.0

While there were certainly philosophies that I don't agree with, Strom presents his thoughts in a clear and organize fashion. He is passionate and it comes through. And despite the few things that didn't resonate with me, most of the book's message does.

It feels like it comes from a place of privilege as an American reading it. Not everyone can travel the world to see what "real" poverty is; we have our own versions and experiences with it. I understand he was trying to make a point that even Americans at their worst have "more," it felt condescending on that subject.

I highlighted a ton of inspiring passages and would still recommend this book.
